The 4th National Clean Energy Workforce Education Conference will be held in Saratoga Springs, New York from March 8-10, 2011.
The 2011 primary conference sponsor is the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). The Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC) is the primary organizer.
IREC provides this update for the workforce community.
Bringing the promise of clean technologies to market starts with a qualified workforce. Training opportunities have proliferated over the last few years and now we have the opportunity to take a hard look at what instructional strategies and curricula have worked best and what still needs to be done.
Conference speakers will look at industry competencies and how they need to be built to insure a flexible workforce with transportable skills; how to balance classroom and field experiences; introducing clean energy technologies and careers to high school students; integrating new clean energy skills into existing trade programs; and what labor market studies are telling us. This will be a fast-paced conference covering many critical and emerging issues.
On March 8, 2011 a series of technical, hard-to-find, and thought-provoking workshops will be held. The Conference will be on March 9 and 10 with over 80 presentations (*)
If you are involved with training the clean energy workforce or planning to, this is an event you don't want to miss.
The special conference hotel rate of $128/night (single/double) is available until February 18, 2011.
A nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, the RCWE’s mission is to connect people with jobs through collaborative workforce development efforts and strong partnerships with economic development, business, education, and government sectors in the Northwest Pennsylvania region.
